The Animals in That Country

The Animals in That Country is a 1968 poetry collection written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood.

Poetry

the ceremonial

cats possessing the streets

the fox runs to the creek

politely to earth, the huntsmen

standing around him, fixed

in their tapestry of manners

”

the bull, embroidered with blood and given
